Translated Accounts is a novel by the Scottish writer James Kelman published in 2001 by Secker & Warburg.[1][2]
Critical reception
[edit]Upon release, Translated Accounts was generally well-received among British press. [3] [4]
The reviewer for The Observer wrote: "This novel marks a change of direction for Kelman, in that it shifts away from his immediate locality to stake out an unnamed, almost abstract terrain; the linguistic power struggle remains a constant, however. ...This book has been seven years in the writing, and you are made to feel the weight of that work in almost every line."[1]
